O Could I Find, from Day to Day

O could I find

from day to day

A near­ness to my God

Then would my hours glide sweet away

While lean­ing on His Word.

Lord

I de­sire with Thee to live

Anew from day to day

In joys the world can nev­er give

Nor ev­er take away.

Blest Je­sus

come and rule my heart

And make me whol­ly Thine

That I may nev­er more de­part

Nor grieve Thy love di­vine.

Thus

till my last ex­pir­ing breath

Thy good­ness I’ll adore;

And when my frame dis­solves in death

My soul shall love Thee more.
